Nah, I think they stopped using that term already. My guess is that they prefer the ambiguity of "No deal" (i.e. some people thinking that it means nothing changes) to the more understandable and less spinnable "Clean Break Brexit".

id guess a nonzero portion of support for no deal is because of deal or no deal

leave -> have your economy crushed from being relegated to 3rd class status

stay -> have your economy crushed from austerity when the financial market collapses again

One thing that a hard brexit hopefully clarifies for the few remaining lexiters: A lot of poo poo that you blame on the EU (i.e. austerity, labour law situations, state aid) isn't actually an EU issue but an issue of the UK's very own kind of conservative bullshit.

Which should have been blindingly obvious even before Brexit, because somehow a lot of the stuff that gets blamed on the EU isn't a thing in the other Member States.

It's pretty reassuring for a hard Brexit that May can't be contested intra-party until quite a while after Brexit, so it is unlikely that the Tories can change course.

Clean Deal Brexit seems to be what businesses and other countries seem to prepare for as the most likely case now, while at the end of last year they still, probably unreasonably, assumed a withdrawal agreement and transition phase could be reached prior to 29 March 2019. And at least anecdotally the briefings at my employer (big4 tax services) now base everything around Clean Deal Brexit.

the projections we were handed echo this and I have no idea why

I have a friend whose family owns one of those houses on the British border on the island of Ireland where the front door of the house is in the UK and the back door is in Ireland. We may be able to set up an underground railroad to smuggle Britgoons out, assuming the powers that be don't install a blockchain border post in her kitchen.

The next election isn't until 2022 unless the Tories call one or she loses a vote of no confidence. If she chooses remain the hard brexiters will split and force an election

The biggest problem is that 400 out of 650 seats voted Leave so there isn't a parliamentary majority for remaining at this point

plus there doesn't seem to be any indication that brexit is actually getting any less popular - in fact, no deal seems to be gaining in popularity

the only good thing about no deal is those who voted leave but are in no way prepared for the coming economic collapse and food hoarding
